[HPforGrownups] MESSAGE - Chicago Tribune interview request

[John Kusalavage]

No: HPFGUIDX 99920

Hi,
If it ever gets to non-residents of Chicago, I was
extensively interviewed and reported on by the Orlando
Sentinel and the St. Petersberg Times during Nimbus
2003.  We covered exactly the questions that the
Chicago papers will pose.  You can retrieve the
stories via Google using my RL name, John Kusalavage.

Yours in HP fellowship,
Haggridd
